background
Shay was born to the children of immigrant parents in a small Texas town and raised on a farm. She spent most of her young life just dreaming about getting out of that place someday and making something of herself. Even as her dreams only got bigger and bigger, Shayβs family wanted only for her to stay right where they were and take up the family business one day. For years it looked like thatβs what she would end up doing until her baby brother, Shane, was born. AS he grew it became obvious that he was much more fit for farm life than she had ever been. Still, her parents insisted, since she was the oldest, that the place would fall to her. But, despite their wishes, Shay couldnβt be held back. Once Shane was old enough to start actually helping around the farm, Shay took off. All the way from Lockhart, Texas to Nashville, Shay would rise. The girl made her start in country music, eventually moving on to a style that was more fitting to the times. AS she rose in fame, so did her dreams, Shay never stopped striving for more. Itβs for that exact reason that Shay ended up across the pond in London. With stars in her eyes, Shay was following the promise of even more fame to gain in the Swinging City where royalty lies and there was so much opportunity just waiting for her to come and snatch it up.
Talents: Diplomatic skills. Used to being the peacemaker, she has a knack for diffusing conflict and stopping it from escalating, even if only temporarily. Cooking skills. Learnt from her mother, she is able to concoct a delicious dish from just about anything, in addition, she is also able to tell which wildlife food is edible and which is poisonous with relative ease.
BIOGRAPHY
Daughter to a Nigerian couple, Precious was born and raised in London. Her childhood was a relatively mundane one as her parents had very traditional values, especially when it came to love - absolutely no boyfriends. However, despite their strict nature her parents loved her more than anything in the world, doing their best at raising her to become a caring and kind-hearted human being. Precious never forgot their catchphrase: "Do kind to others if you want kind to be done to you."
Once it was time for her to leave for university the last thing her father told her was to not bring back a boy home with her once she returned, teasingly, of course, but Precious knew that deep down that was a serious statement. Either way, she had already given up on the thought of looking for Mr. Right, instead looking foward to studying hard and making her parents proud of her. Unfortunately for her, one rainy day at the subway station, Mr. Right found her.
personality
Isabella considers herself a logical person. That's her favorite quality about herselfβthe way she can step out a situation, see for herself what is occurring and come to the best conclusion.
Besides her critical thinking skills, she is also street smart. She has had enough experience in her life to know how to help herself, or another person, out during an emergency.
As for her more personable traits, she's enjoys meeting people. She loves making conversation, getting to know who a person truly is. She does tend to get skittish whenever someone gets too close to comfort. It's rare for her to let her guard down. So, it generally just relies on her finding the right person. Once her trust is earned, however, it is almost impossible for that person to betray it.
So, logic to a fault. Insecure with her own vulnerability. Protective of those she trusts most. These traits are what makes up Isabella and defines who she is.
talents. 01. kickboxing + self-defense classes
From a young age, Isabella's father was insistent she knew how to defend herself. She went from karate, to taekwondo, to finally settling on kickboxing and self-defense. She's been studying it for years and has a pretty good understanding of what she needs to do in order to protect herself.
02. good hand-eye coordination
With all of her training, Isabella has amazing hand-eye coordination. She's very aware of her body. She likes to go play baseball or mini golf on her weekends off because of how easy it is for her to win those games.
03. medical training
As the child of a doctor and a nurse-in-training, it's not a surprise that she knows the basic principles of medicine. Those lessons have definitely stuckβher father has drilled it into her head how to perform CPR and how to stitch up a wound a million times. It's a source of pride for her to know she is capable of healing someone whenever they've been hurt. Although, she still has a long way to go before she can become a doctor.
basic history.
Isabella Faith Furaha was born in South Africa. Her father was studying to be a doctor there while her mother was a well-known model within their country. As the second-born daughter, she was somehow the most spoiled one amongst her siblings. Her sister, Othalive or 'Liv', was the one who spoiled her the most.
She has extremely fond moments of her childhoodβplaying dress up with Liv, traveling with their mother on the rare occasion, joining their father at his clinic whenever he had to work late. It was a perfectly lovely existence.
Somewhere between her childhood and adolescence, her parents decided a move was in order. Although she wasn't fond of the idea, Isa didn't have much choice. So, her little family left South Africa behind for a whole new country.
The adjustment period was long. With a new language to learn, a new community to understandβit was hard for her to assimilate. But, eventually, she was able to get both of her feet back on the ground. She worked hard in her classes, reaching the top percent of the country (and making her parents proud) and got into a really good school.
She decided to go into medicine.
Although her parents have been supportive and willing to pay for her schooling, she found her pride wouldn't allow her to accept their generosity. So, she got a job as a bank teller to help pay the bills. It's tedious workβand a hassle to juggle between her shifts at the hospitalβbut, she's proud of the direction her life has been heading in. She wouldn't change it for the world.
family.
Alice Furaha | 51 | Mother
Isabella loves her mom dearly; but, Alice wasn't a very present mother at times. With the amount of work her mother had to do, Isa would go weeks without seeing her. It wasn't her faultβbut, it wasn't an ideal either. Although their relationship has rocky moments, she stills loves her mom with all her heart and calls her several times a week to check up on her.
Elijah Furaha | 52 | Father
Isabella is definitely a daddy's girl. She loves her father to the moon-and-back. They have a really close bond and she is super appreciative of how often he calls her to ask if she's eaten or how she's doing at work. He's an endearing man that she knows will love her no matter what. He is also her role model of sorts. Most of her biggest accomplishments can be credited to her strive to impress him.
Othalive Furaha | 29 | Sister
Othalive, or 'Liv' for short, is the best sister Isabella could ever ask for. She's devoted, sweet and lets her sister borrow whatever she wants from her closet. Besides their constant bickering about little things, they're definitely the closest person to one another. Although they're separated from each other at the moment, they're constantly texting and calling to update the other sister on their lives.
